The Teachings Of Nature

Lord Thompson Manor Teachings By: cdmohatta

Nature teaches us many things. Unfortunately we have become so accustomed to teachings by books, classrooms and other methods that we miss the teachings of nature. Let us find out about few teachings of nature.

Water, what does it teach us? It is one of the greatest teachers. It mixes with most of the solids and becomes one with them. It has no color of its own and takes any color given to it. It always tries to go down rather than staying on the top. Does this not teach us few things?

Flowers, they look very beautiful. They make everyone happy who looks at them. They are very soft and teach us that softness is to be desired. They give amazing perfume, but it is all for others. They are ready to be used in wedding or during death ceremonies. They object to nothing.

Mountains, the heights make all of us feel small. But the mountain has no pride of its imposing height. Rather the mountains challenge our determination and strength to conquer them. Mountains make everything else look so small that one gets the right perspective of life.

Trees, they give us shade, fruits, flowers, green cover, bind the soil and make the landscape look fertile. Can one ask for more? It is for us to learn something from everything in nature. Even a small stone teaches us the art of patience. It continues to lie at the same place for years together unless disturbed. Let us look at the nature with a new outlook and find out what it can teach us. We will surely learn quite a lot.

Mind Mapping Techniques

Dr. Jose A. Bardelas Jr. MD Mind Mapping Techniques By Paul Urban

Using Mind Mapping Techniques
A mind map is a tool used to represent words, concepts, ideas and other items associated and arranged around a central idea or key word. It encourages creativity when recording ideas and concepts as well as allowing one to associate words with visual representations.
It is a simple and easy tool that promotes thinking outside the box.

Mind maps are useful in:
•Goal Setting
•Project planning
•Organizing information
•Problem solving
•Decision making
•Brain storming
•Writing an article or report
•Studying and preparing for an exam
•Financial analysis
These are some techniques on making a good map:

1.Think of a central idea.
All other branches should revolve around the central idea. In the case of goal setting. The overall direction of your goal could be the central idea. Starting from the central idea, draw lines to the side to represent its sub categories. These branches of thought should be arranged in a radial manner to avoid hierarchy, as all ideas should be treated equally. Use thick lines for branches near the central idea and thinner ones as you move out to avoid confusion and for better organization.

2.Use picture to associate concepts and ideas whenever possible.
For example, you can use graphs in financial analysis. In project planning, you can use icons and images of what your project is about. Not only is it fun to use colors and images, it can also enhance the visual power of your map.

3.Don’t restrain your thoughts.
Put as much ideas as you can on your mind map. You can edit later, but for the time being, write down every idea in your mind associated with your central topic. What seems irrelevant now may be useful for you later.

4.Set a definite time frame to finish your mind map.
You will be surprised by how much you can accomplish in a specific period of time. By setting a time frame, you will be able to stay focus on the task at hand. The material you use in making a mind map is important too. A large sheet of blank paper can be used in making your mind map alongside with your pens and coloring materials. However, with the wide availability of mind mapping software in the market today, people have started making mind maps on the computer.

Personal Development - How to Be Creative

By Stephen Kavita

The route to becoming creative is not easy and that is why most people shy away and would rather leave things as they are. But it is good to realize that people that have impacted the world positively are those who have gone against the norm to defy all odds and change things. The human brain has been designed to be imaginative especially when pushed to a corner. Therefore, when things seem tough rather than running away, seek to find a solution.

There are things you can do to enable your mind become creative and the first is overcome the fear of failure. As much as it is easier to sit back and do what you are supposed to do, risk and think outside the box. Do not worry what others will say or how you will persuade others. With time when they see things working out they will be convinced.

Even when everything seems to be going on well, always seek to be creative. This is because when things start going bad there is usually not enough time to come up with a solution. By thinking ahead you will activate your brains towards creativity.

Since one cannot be sure of the results of being innovative, some people are afraid of being creative. Realize that most of the time the new ideas we come up with are not normally logical hence evaluate your ideas rather than ignore them. Even when people consider your creative ideas erroneous to not give up on them until you try them out.
